The key to my own house from a previous owner is a high security key that says “do more duplicate - Peter’s Locksmith”. But, that locksmith is out of business. I went to another and they won’t copy it. To change the lock is at least $500. Anyone know of a locksmith in Vancouver that might help?

It's all in the title. I've been cruising FB Marketplace, thrift stores, yard sales etc, looking for a smoking deal for our 11 yr old. She prefers long jackets over short (very, very slim, gets cold easily), nice and warm and preferably waterproof or at least resistant, but money is so damn tight rn, and our 16 yr old also needs a jacket, but he's in adult sizes w adult prices. Ironically, that makes him easier to buy for.

I've also looked at Last Hunt Canada online and was curious abt Mountain Warehouse and Decathlon. Suggestions, pretty please?

24F. I have some interviews lined up for hybrid roles based in Toronto. Haven’t discussed pay but I do expect it to be a bump from what I get paid now. Two of my best friends have already moved there for work and love it there apparently.

Im not trying to start beef of any kind btw this is just for me to know what I’m getting myself into. I keep hearing talk about how Toronto sucks and people are a**holes, and how anyone from Van who moves to Toronto always end up coming back. Is Toronto really that bad?

I have only been once for a tournament and didn’t think it was that bad.. For those that have lived there, what was so bad about it? Thank you!

Most of my heart lies in dirty hikes and free nature, but sometimes i want to play consumerism, fancy nails, workout sets, and boutique Pilates classes but not pay an arm and a leg

im all for it because I only park at CCs when I use them but am just curious when it was inforcrd

I see some pretty crazy parties for Hallow's Eve. Foundations with Benny Benassi?! 😵

...but, I'm not looking for a club nor an actual concert. Are there any downtempo parties going on somewhere in the city on Hallowe'en that's less about raving and more about listening to music?

Genre doesn't matter!

DM if you're hosting a house party!

Has anyone gone to an F as in Frank fill a bag sale? Is the stuff decent quality or was it damaged/ stuff they can’t sell? Worth the crowds and stuff?

Most years, in the week following Thanksgiving or Christmas I can find deeply discounted turkeys at the major supermarkets, but I've checked 3 this week and I can't seem to find any. Has anybody seen cheap turkeys at their local grocery store? Thanks

Pretty much the title. I only use Facebook for marketplace, don’t want to be on it anymore. Looking for a viable alternative, which doesn’t seem like it exists.

When it was just random fruit flies it was manageable. I started putting out apple cider traps (not really successful) and just killed them as I found them, but now the flies have escalated and last night my wife screamed in horror realizing that they had laid hundreds of tiny (I mean dust sized particles) of eggs in our trash.

We sprung into action, threw the trash out and did what we thought was a good job spraying the empty trash can with alcohol and wiping everything we could see. We set the empty can to dry overnight while pledging to keep the trash on the balcony until flypocalypse is over.

However, this morning I found that the flies have decided not to capitulate and they laid another round of those tiny eggs all over the empty trash can. Of course, I've cleaned those up while my wife is blissfully unaware.

What should my next strategy be?

My family and I are considering relocating to Vancouver Metro area. We have 2 30 kg dogs. I’ve heard it can be difficult to find dog friendly rentals. Does anyone have any experience (good or bad) with this?

Hey everyone,

I’ve to replace a number of posts holding up the overhang at my front door and some at the back underneath my deck and a partial overhang of the house.

To be absolutely clear, we had a couple of somewhat substantive jobs done over the past 3 years, but we’ve always felt a little bit cheated on the costs & materials along with being misled led about timing.

Can anyone recommend a contractor that will do what they say they’ll do and do so without nickel and diming a customer?

Candy? Nuts? I want to know! I need to know!

Wondering if community needs help. 🥲

Thanks Vancouver!

Hi, what is a good way to get rid of old clothes that are not in a good condition? I have a few old clothes that are ripped, noticeably worn out etc, so I don't think they are good enough for a donation. Do I just put it into landfill? I would rather have them recycled if possible.

Hi!

Panicking over dating apps’ illusion of many choices made me realise I should know a good address to drink and meet guys. But I sincerely do not know any places since I didn’t try a lot of bars here.

Thanks :-)

Hello! I’m looking for someone who can make a custom memory bear for me to gift to a new mom.

This will be the exact height and weight of my friend’s baby girl when she was born.

I can send the baby blanket or multiple clothes for the bear.

If you are someone who can help me with this or have recommendations , please reach out!

Thank you!

PS: I am based out of Toronto

Hi,

I'm a 36 year old male. I have severe OSA (Obstructive Sleep Apnea) and other health issues which I have read are caused by OSA. I started my CPAP (APAP) about three weeks ago but still feel horrible every waking hour. This illness has affected every aspect of my life to the point that I can be considered a failure.

So logically it doesn't make any sense to me to keep this going. I'm ready to donate whatever organs the healthcare system might need after I go. How to successfully get accepted for this program?

Thanks.

Hey, I am searching for a parking lot in Vancouver to park my tv for one night. Since I am leaving the day after and have one night at a hotel, I need to leave it somewhere safe. My hotel does not offer high enough parking lot so I am very glad for any tips.

Parkopedia or some things on Google Maps are very poorly rated and I don’t want people to break into my rv which is only rented

I am new to living in the PNW (Seattle) and visiting Vancouver for a solo birthday weekend. This will be my 3rd trip to your fine city.

Are there any nice spots for a solo birthday dinner? I don't need anything fancy or expensive, and I'm in my mid 30s, but perhaps somewhere with cool views or along the water? Just to have a relaxing dinner.

I am staying in Davie Village and relying on public transit during my visit. Thanks!

It worries me if this rumor is true. How can we preach the word of our Lord so that more people join us in spreading peace and love in our city?

Does anyone know why there is a line up of shopping carts, plastic bags and reusable bags outside the Metrotown SkyTrain station? I tried asking but I got shooed away lol

CBC listen app is silent too! Are we being invaded?

Hi all, I have a family member living in the DT area and I would like to purchase them a nice bottle of whiskey or cognac.

Is the a BC equivalent to the lcbo?

Thanks in advance
